Quantum Machines and ParTec Introduce QBridge – a Universal Integration Software Solution for HPC and Quantum Computers

May 17 | 2023 | 02 min

Quantum Machines and ParTec will showcase their solution at ISC 2023 in Hamburg, Germany,  May 21 to 25.

Tel Aviv, Israel and Munich, Germany, May 17, 2023 — Quantum Machines and ParTec have announced a co-developed universal software solution forming the base of he tight integration of quantum computers into high-performance computing (HPC) environments. QBridge is a first-of-its-kind commercially available solution that enables multiple HPC users to seamlessly execute hybrid workflows across HPC-classical and quantum computing resources. This advancement is a key requirement and a major step towards achieving quantum advantage. The first installation of the solution will be at the Israeli Quantum Computing Center (QCC) during the second half of 2023.

Quantum computers are significantly different from classical computers in terms of their architecture and programming paradigm, making it challenging to integrate them seamlessly into existing HPC infrastructure. QBridge is tightly integrated with Quantum Machines’ OPX, a unique classical-quantum controller, empowering HPC users to tackle the complex task of improving performance from hybrid classical-quantum systems. For quantum computing researchers and builders, it opens the door for programming advanced multi-qubit algorithms that require robust classical processing.

“ParTec has a long history as a driving force in developing the Modular Supercomputing Architecture (MSA) with its world class ParaStation Modulo software enabling hybrid, modular computing. Quantum computers will be an essential element of any future heterogeneous supercomputer. We are excited to partner with Quantum Machines and are proud to spearhead this development,” says Bernhard Frohwitter, CEO of ParTec AG.

QBridge combines ParTec’s vast experience in building best-in-class heterogeneous HPC systems and developing the ParaStation Modulo software for their integration with Quantum Machines’ world-leading quantum control solutions. QBridge is a software solution that extends  Quantum Machines’ advanced HPC-ready control platform – OPX to be interfaced by HPC schedulers. Jointly with OPX, QBridge enables the organic management of quantum computers as yet another resource in the supercomputing center.

“As we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the field of quantum computing, it’s imperative that we focus on simplifying its convergence with HPCs,” said Itamar Sivan, co-founder and CEO of Quantum Machines. “We’re pleased to join forces with ParTec, combining their experience in the HPC market with our deep understanding of quantum computing. Together we aim to accelerate the realization of seamless quantum-HPC integration.”

Key Features & Benefits of QBridge

  • Co-scheduling of HPC-classical and quantum resources
  • Enables low-latency and efficient execution of hybrid workflows  on scalable, heterogeneous HPC compute resources
  • Dynamic circuit execution on Quantum Machines’ state-of-the-art pulse processor
  • QPU virtualization: Maximum utilization of scarce quantum resources through concurrent HPC job execution and classical-quantum workloads
  • A flexible stack that caters to various user types from circuit-level for algorithm developers to low-level pulse control for quantum researchers
  • Transparency and flexibility of the quantum stack, maximizing usability, and providing insights into the quantum system

Quantum Machines and ParTec will showcase their solution at ISC 2023 in Hamburg, Germany,  May 21 to 25.

About Quantum Machines
